Arrow A couple of problems

First off, the "normal" person (one who is not dieting in any way, shape or form) requires a minimum of 14grams of fat in their diet per day just for minimal health. Fat is not your enemy. On this WOE fat not only provides the conduit for fat soluble vitamins, but also helps you body find balance in maintaining a constant energy level.

Your diet should have a minimum of 40% of your calories from fat... some places say 60%!!! You have to change your thinking from low fat to low carb... it is different.

Secondly, I don't know what your portions are, but you also need to do some research on calories while on induction. It is keeping your carbs low... not keeping EVERYTHING low.

The "withdrawal" is two part... most all of us are coming off caffeine, but the sugar withdrawal is often painful. Your body is going through a detox process... ever seen anyone in an alcohol or drug rehab? Taking things away from your body that it is used to is not pretty!

You need to spread your water out over the entire day. It is not actually good to drink too much with meals as it 'waters down' the digestive juices. Take your body weight and divide by two. The number you get is how many ounces you should drink in a 24 hour period.

Should you get 'shaky' again, don't go for the cookie... have a tablespoon of peanut butter. It will stop the shakes and not blow your good efforts.

Good luck,
Karla
